Our family loved this getaway! Karen was an excellent host and very responsive. The grounds and bath house were very clean. Everything we needed and close proximity to everything.
Great stay. A nice private camping spot with just a few other campers. The owner was very helpful with greeting us and providing information anytime we had a question.
There is some road noise since it is close to a road, but being from the city, it did not bother usus
Excellent stay! Karen was an exceptional host. Enjoyed the property and the bathroom set up to allow for showers. The fall colors were stunning. Enjoyed the canoeing as well.
The property is beautiful and in a great location for exploring petosky. Karen was very nice and helpful. She also owns a canoe livery across the street which could be a fun thing to explore while staying here.
Wow what a lovely little private camp site. We were the only campers at this sweet site. Our tent was set up within feet of a lovely flowing river. Shared bathroom was very clean, warm and walkable from our campsite. Coffee was available in the morning which was perfect. Remember to bring an extra blanket or two as the evenings are cool and sometime a bit damp. Loved our stay.
Everything was amazing! I only wish with only 1 bath house that there was a porta John or something in the rustic part. 4 different rentals sharing 1 bathroom can be a bit difficult
What a wonderful stay we had here! Karen is so accommodating and kind. We had a beautiful spot by the river, and loved kayaking on this river. They are close to downtown and yet you feel like you are in the middle of nowhere. I highly recommend camping here!

Nice place to get away from it all but yet be close enough to it all! We enjoyed the quiet of the property and the river after sightseeing during the day. Karen was very pleasant when we talked with her.
Only negative is the distance from the campsite to the bathhouse. But not a deal breaker for us.
We loved our stay at this location! There are two sites and a cabin (separated by a path through the woods) but we had the privilege of having the whole place to ourselves. The bathroom/shower is quite nice and even had a heater for cold northern nights. The host was wonderful and quite attentive when we had questions. The ground is plant covered and the dirt is easy to put stakes in. Lots of little fish in the river. We didn't catch anything large, but my boys had fun!
Nice to have an actual shower!! Good proximity to many nearby attractions. Just an hour to the mackinaw ferry and an hour drive to rent a boat for torch lake. Lovely hostess!
